New Windstar ship keeps it small but chic



If huge ships fill you with horror but you like the idea of more intimate cruises then small ship cruise line Windstar Cruises has just unveiled a first look at its Star Seeker - a 224-guest ship that will debut in January of 2026.

Star Seeker will have just 112 suites, with all but 10 featuring either a private veranda or floor-to-ceiling infinity window.

The ship also boasts five dining options (all are included in Windstar’s cruise fare), a full-service spa, a fitness facility, and a fresh take on the line’s iconic Watersports Platform, which turns the ocean into an infinity pool by letting guests access the sea directly from the ship.

“Guests aboard Star Seeker will experience a sense of tranquillity in their suites; they are designed to be an oasis for relaxation,” says Stijn Creupelandt, vice-president of hotel operations at Windstar Cruises.

“We used light wood and a soothing colour palette of light blues, greens, and natural browns - elements that reflect our Star Class style.

“Inspired by the sea, sky, and landscapes, these colours and textures create a serene atmosphere perfect for a relaxing getaway. In the ship’s public spaces and restaurants, you’ll find more vibrant hues inspired by sunrises and sunsets, including warm yellows, golds, and oranges, ensuring a harmonious blend of elegance and comfort throughout the ship.”

Star Seeker features two Horizon Owner’s Suites, a new suite category for the line. Each comes with a wrap-around balcony.

There will be 12 different accommodation types to choose from, many allowing for triple occupancy.

As on all Windstar ships, there are no interior cabins.

Star Seeker is under construction in Portugal. The maiden voyage will be a Transatlantic sailing from Malaga to Miami.
